Re the .270 vs 30-06 discussion, it was said that the recoil is equal if you have the same gun with the same weight bullet at the same velocity.

But isn't it true that if you have cases with equal capacity and bullets of equal weight, but one is a smaller caliber, then the smaller caliber requires less powder than the larger? If so, then the .270 would still kick less than the .30-06 even with the same weight bullet at the same velocity.

My brief perusal of reloading manuals seems to bear this out. I can't remember where I originally learned about it, might have been Layne Simpson.
